Prior to patch 4.0.1, most battlegroups in Europe had a handful of non English speaking realms. Being on an English speaking horde realm, I could face a German alliance team in a BG, but never team up with them. With the 1 big pool now, it's pretty awesome ... had a couple of Germans in my team who did not speak English whatsoever. The 3 Frenchies refused to talk English as well. Which resulted in most people just speaking their native language in BG chat. Awesome. Getting the team to follow some basic tactics in the average BG wasn't simple before, but now it's getting even better.

It's kinda hard to grasp the reasoning and motives of the person @ blizzard who came up with this concept. 20k volt on his balls will prevent him from reproducing himself, that's the least that they could do.

Play on US servers????

I'd imagine the latency of the US servers would be rather atrocious from Europe.

Or...

you could learn some languages instead of just speaking in 'whiner' all the time

As a matter of fact I've tried that with a trial account last year, as I tend to play during the nights mostly (our time). From 30-40ms it jumped to 300+.

Now that's constructive.

thanks for that.

I haven't played yet myself, but that could indeed be proper annoying :/

I'm curious what 5 you speak that you wouldn't be able to find some commonality between people who speak French and German - mostly asiatic or (less likely) slavic languages, I would guess?

I do speak french and german, but this post was not about me not understanding them. But about the concept of throwing people together who have their clients in their own language for years (and obviously want to keep communicating in their own language) with *foreign* language realms.

To the troll: I'd love to see the reactions from the american players when they would be mixed up with e.g. chinese players in BG's. Go tell them to learn chinese!
